RETRO POST #03: 3D Terrain Modeling
From my personal blog (before Archinect)
Authored 2004-04-25 @ 04:09:23 AM
** 01/13/05 NOTE: Little did I know this would come in VERY handy while preparing a SurfCAM-able terrain for Eric Cheong's thesis.
Found a better way than using
formZ
to
create terrain models
at
CADtutor.net
.
3D Studio VIZ
(not sure about MAX) has an AEC tool for creating terrains. Another method is to use
AutoCAD
with
Key Terra-Firma
and the other terrain tutorials at
CADtutor.net
:
Ground Modeling
,
Volumetrics
, and
Sections
. Last but not least,
AutoDESK
also produces
Land Desktop
.
